The pop star Miley Cyrus has, after much anticipation, released the video for her latest track, “Wrecking Ball.”

The pop star, who recently was the center of controversy over her performance at the VMAs, seems determined to further distance herself from her “Hannah Montana” beginnings, stripping down and straddling a wrecking ball in her latest video.

After being released on Sept. 9, the video has attracted over 13 million views and temporarily pushed “Miley Cyrus” into Twitter’s top ten trending topics.

The video “Wrecking Ball” is taken from Miley Cyrus’s forthcoming album, “Bangerz,” which is slated for release in early October.
